Alan Elliott and I in the PAIRS away to Victoria Point 1PM Sunday Afternnoon
We Went down 17-24 in awkward conditions. We Never started well against Kay and Kevin and Alan held us together for first 14 ends although we were down 7-18. I managed to get some good bowls in after I realised the Shit I was playing and started not flicking the bowl and we fought back to 17-19 on last end. Kay Put 1 on jack and we tried to get it off but they got a 5 while we were chasing. Luckily Caine had a good win 31-18 in Singles and Marcus Led Very well in the Fours Great 31-17 win Skipped by Bob Marty so we won overall. Nice Day off Tomorrow… Apart from Bruce growing what seems to be another head or is Reg trying to bite his ear ??? Its Ralphie who has centre stage once again...
Congratulations Ralph on your Birthday and another Portrait for the Bernie Bowls Website Gallary.. ******************************************************************************************************************* As for Bowls Today, I am not Bowling Today as we play Premier 7's Rd 2 tomorrow at Redland Bay. Just as well as Overcast and wet greens today. PARADISE POINT PREMIER 7'S NEWS A Great win today by Division 3. However… Reports have just come in that Bobby Brown and Red Edwards both had "Ralphies" Unbelievable... Not Bowling Today but will be at Helensvale Bowls Club from 8.30am til 9.00am to see someone and see whats going on there..
******************************************************************************************************************* Grant Osborne and I hope to get a game of PAIRS today. Sick of Triples or Fours on Thursdays. Will make sure before I get a card as if I get Triples or Fours I'm OFF…
***************************************************************************************************************** Picked an outdoor rink on the Newly Renovated Top Green. It was Slow But True although the wind played havoc... We played Alan Brough and Sam Granata and played pretty well for our 25-15 win. I am Not Bowling today but an interesting story if you want to read below… I suggest you do read it... 2 years ago I bowled at Port Macquarie in the Master Pairs with Matt Cowan. We played a game against Barry Smith who had the Same Type of Bowls at Matt Cowan. Greenmaster Super 10s… Below are Matt Cowans Bowls.. (Note Running Horse) Barry Smith had the Same Type of Bowl as below with Same Horse but (Note A Walking Horse) where as Matt Cowan had a Running Horse. For 2 years Barry Smith has been trying to track Matt Cowan as he had 1 of his Bowls and eventually found him but alas he had sold his bowls since through me, Bernie so Barry got on to me.
Every one in Port Macquarie Knew Barry had 1 Bowl that was not his so would not allow him to use his bowls in tournaments so he has a useless set of Bowls. As for me, I don't keep records as to when I sell and who I sell too as Long as Both seller and Buyer are happy, so am I. However after extensive searching files I remembered that I had sold Matts Bowls locally and found the Phone Number in my phone under Bowls Bags, As they had purchased a Bowls Bag.. I have had Barry send me his Odd Bowl and Today I have made an appointment with the buyer of Matts bowls to see him and hope swap over the Bowls so both guys have a Matched Set. Amazing how they got Mixed up and none of us noticed, Will let you know how changeover goes… ***************************************************************************************************************** Everything went well. Bowls Exchanged and Posted Back to Bowler who had Odd Set. Now he is just going to Bowl with them and say nothing and when they challenge his set for being odd, he's going to cause embarrassment to the Challenger ... Latif and I played on the Newly Renovated Middle Green and a Tad slow but played terrific and we played against John Russell and Rob Pollock. What a Great game.
We all played Great Bowls and found John and Rob hard to get way from and at 13 ends we were locked at 12-12 and lucky to be in that position as Rob had 3 drives in the game and all unlucky results including 1 where Jack came out of Ditch and instead of a 5 went down 1 when Latif drew with last bowl, 2 others that went against him too. We won 26-13 in the end but flattered at the result although still well deserved for our perseverance. Brian Lamb and I played together today as Grant Osborne and Adam Liddell wanted a game together before they play their Super Challenge on the weekend and for the Season..
Adam and Grant came 2nd with 2 wins and a Draw…. Well Done a had a massive Margin in the last game… I think they know each others game now !!! Lamby and I had a Fairly good day. 1st game against John Rafton and Robbie Cresswell for a Great 16-9 win… We Both Played Excellent Rink 7 2nd game against Alan Young and Bob Brown.. Alan Hurt Knee before playing us and Brownie using his new Whitelines which never suited the Carpet, We had a 22-3 win 3rd game against Mal Alagich and Mar Waitai. We Played Pretty well and any other day would have won but dropped a 5 on 6th end to be down 5-11 although came back to 10-11, just could not get ahead and went down in the end 11-17. Was a Good game. We Came 4th anyway overall and Mel and Mar came 3rd. Beaten by better team on the day although we all played well.. TOP FIELD TODAY. TOP FOOD FOR LUNCH. GREAT COMPETITION., Never Bowls today as was very hot anyway so Glad I didn't.
At Home to Logan City Today.
Caine Burns SINGLES - Myself & Alan Elliott in PAIRS - Dennis McDonald, (AAA) Gary Alexander 2nd, Ray Robinson 3rd and Bob Marty Skip See How we go…. Playing on the Top Green, Was running well when I was watching yesterday morning so without Rain will be fairly good.. ****************************************************************************************************************** Results - Caine Burns won 31-21 Singles Bob Marty Fours went down 19-20 on last End... Myself and Alan Elliott had a good hard win against Robert and Bob 25-11. Overall a Good start. Weather although fairly warm was cooled with a Stiff breeze which made it very hard to out 2 bowls down the same. However we played well for our win in the Pairs. |
